Default indicator ticking very fast....

what could cause this?
is the relay just fooked?

its been happening for a few weeks now. i just noticed today the rear indicator bulb has blown on the side that is ticking fast.

the left is fine, its the right that going mad. the dash light is going fast as well, not just the outside bulbs.

could it just be the bulb and it will sort its self out when i change it?

its on a nova by the way.

that is what is supposed to happen when a bulb blows.

less resistance on the circuit so the relay opens/closes quicker

also lets the driver know when a bulb has blown

it used to be fine so i guess i must have the right relay.

i'll sort the bulb tonight and hopefully it'll be back to normal.
